A Moscow-bound flight from JFK International Airport was reportedly forced to make an emergency landing in Iceland early Thursday morning after a bogus bomb threat, news sources reported.
An anonymous caller told law enforcement that five bomb-laden suitcases had been loaded onto Flight 103, which had 253 passengers and crew members aboard, the Russian media and Aeroflot and Keflavik spokesmen.
The plane, a two-engine had departed from JFK Airport Wednesday evening, according to the media reports.
It landed safely at Keflavik International Airport just before 6:30 a.m. local time.
No explosives were found on board, and no injuries were reported. It was unclear which law enforcement agency the caller contacted.
No arrests have been reported.
